Nobody wins with these cuts. Not our students. Not workers. Not working families. Certainly not Harrisburg Republicans. These cuts are an attack on working people. We need a budget that funds SEPTA and the other public services we ALL depend on www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio...

Today’s mass shooting in West Philly is devastating. Our city is riddled by the gun violence epidemic. Gun violence is a moral issue & our leaders in Harrisburg keep choosing the wrong side. We are keeping those affected by this senseless tragedy in our thoughts and prayers

To be clear: These people do not care about you, your coworkers, or the average worker in America. Repealing established, life-saving agencies like OSHA is not making America great or healthy; it is harming workers. Show your coworkers radical love and organize a union

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 2y ago

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. The entire text of the bill reads "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."
